The 6’5”, 315-lb. center spent 11 seasons in the National Football League, with 107 starts out of the 120 career games in which he appeared. Jeremy was first drafted in the second round by the San Francisco 49ers in 1998. The Antioch native had the unusual opportunity to play professional football for both Bay Area teams - the Raiders and 49ers - and kept his #62 jersey. His “Power, Toughness and Tenacity” won a place on two Pro Bowl teams in 2001 and 2002. His work ethic earned the respect of 49er teammates who chose him as a three-time recipient of the Bobb McKittrick Award as the team’s top lineman in 2000, 2003 and 2005, as well as the Ed Block Courage Award, given to him in 2003 and 2005 for playing with severe ankle and knee injuries. Jeremy’s nine seasons with the 49ers were followed by one season each with the Raiders and San Diego Chargers. He signed with the Atlanta Falcons in June of 2009, but officially announced his retirement a month later, unable to continue due to a re-injured knee. Jeremy was born in 1976, the same year his dad, retired Antioch police officer Dave Newberry, lettered at Cal as an offensive lineman. Jeremy began his prep career at Antioch High, where he was chosen for the All-BVAL, All-East Bay, All-Bay Area, All-Nor Cal and All-Far West teams. As a senior he recorded 11 sacks and was in the top five in the state as a heavyweight wrestler. He later played at the University of California at Berkeley on a football scholarship. He had a 93% blocking consistency as a Cal lineman, the highest for any Cal Bears player in the 1990s.
